Does anyone here among the [former] HC staff have the power to delete my account on the tracker?

Bugs

:cheers:

Deleted it for you :thumbsup

Able to do this as on paper, I am still a staff member. Only because Shareef is now playing a strange game of not changing the accounts of all the staff members who have resigned.

By the way, he's gone AWOL again :lol4:

Most of us are absolutely not using it although some of us are accessing it from time to time out of curiosity.

I will start uploading here when my desktop and scanner are back in action which should be in a couple of days. Have just moved house so uploading is impossible. Can just download a few things to my laptop - and make rude comments about HC of course.

The HungerCity tracker up running, so why are there are at least 4 links with the Hostgator.com ERROR 404 - PAGE NOT FOUND message?

In the last 4 - 5 days, at Hunger City, I've been demoted from "senior uploader" to "user", and now today, I've been promoted to "uploader". At this rate, I fully expect to be either "fairest of the fair" or "spawn of the devil" by the weekend.

Not complaining, just making an observation. I think it's funny.
I have ratio to burn there, and I'm going to. If I see something I want, I'll grab it. I've actually grabbed more there than I have any other tracker in the 4+ years I've been torrenting.
I don't envision uploading there again, if for no other reason, the tracker's lack of online reliability.
Never did send 'em money, and no currently endured change of rank has deterred me from doing all that I care to do there. Leech, Leech, Leech!

It's a tracker with music, I like music, what's not to get?

Maybe it would help if you thought about it being like hanging around an ex-girlfriend until you got your records back.

I'm not looking for a fight.

Don't be disingenuous, Smythe. Of course, you're looking for a fight, but not just any fight; you're looking to pick a fight with me. I stand by what I wrote before: go back through this thread, look at all the other images (and video) that people have posted, and tell me why you're calling out me and only me for having posted an image in this thread. Everyone reading this knows the answer, Smythe. So tell us, why aren't you calling out the good Mister Ozark, or LGT, or the Den's own mods — all of whom have posted images in this thread? Tell us.

Forgive me, but, since I saw other people doing it, including the people who are charged with enforcing rules, and since those same mods did not chastise anyone else for doing it, and since the software permits it, and since I see no prohibitions in the FAQ against doing what I did, I assumed that doing what I did was fine. Now, ordinarily, I'd be happy to follow the link that I'm sure you can provide to the section of the FAQ that explains how that which I have done ist verboten, but, unfortunately, I won't be able to do that because I am putting you on "ignore" now.

But, by all means, report me to the mods for my misconduct. I would gladly and happily and deferentially respond to their instructions and correct my alledged misbehavior, if, indeed, I am misbehaving.

Good luck, Smythe, and take care of yourself. I mean that sincerely.

I would never report you to mods for misconduct. Just saying that they told us to cool it with photos.

If that's the address of HC's PayPal account, rather than the longstanding [email protected], may one infer that PayPal shut down the original account and, perhaps, this new account once they realized (or were tipped off) that both accounts went to one and the same person, whom I shall call, to protect her or his anonymity, "ShaQueeF (http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/member.php?u=269678)" ?

What also interests me is that the tracker itself is reportedly down-down. I wonder if he has been shut down, if he's just given up since he can't use the site to cash in, or if he went the whole hog to really take it off-line now that she or he knows we're all not as stupid as he or she is.

Poor ShaQueeF.

Shareef Bustani, it looks like you have made a minor error this time, your customers are not being redirected to your latest message or the Hostgator.com ERROR 404 - PAGE NOT FOUND message.
Remember that you have changed the link to your message from http://thehcforum.com/hungercity/lastchance.html to http://thehcforum.com/hc/lastchance.html.
That might - or might not - be the reason your customers don't see it if they try to connect to http://www.hungercity.org/torrents.php or http://www.hungercity.org.
I will post it here for you, so people can read it now, untill you get it fixed.

http://isitdown.co.uk/www.hungercity.org correctly reports http://www.hungercity.org is not down
(it took me 2.09 seconds to check, if it is down for you, go shout at your IT support or ISP)
BTW: The status code I got was 302 and I was redirected to http://thehcforum.com/hc/lastchance.html

As you can see isitdown.co.uk was correctly redirected to the new link http://thehcforum.com/hc/lastchance.html

Maybe you should have another look at the Hostgator tutorial on how to create a correct url redirect to your latest message and to the Hostgator.com ERROR 404 - PAGE NOT FOUND message.
Since the ERROR 404 message can be found there, you can re-use one of these links:

Good to see the old place back up to speed and running normally.
Members are urged to donate using the new procedure: flush $20 bills down the toilet until the tracker is online.

But if we use your proposed flush method, how will he get our ...oh wait...that's gross

Those links are indeed correct, HC was up and running, but the server access was not available to the public, as it was suspended. I am not going to waste any further time, trying to explain this anymore!

Thanks bomba, to go above and beyond to staying true to HC! You are NOT in the minority, I have over 300 messages to date, welcoming us back, and wanting to know where and how to donate. Of course, I have suspended any further donation for the
time being. I will pay for this, along with two VERY trusted friends (not staff members), who had total faith in me and HC, for the time being!!!

His point, which is a good one, is that even with this devastation the internet access remained. HC has had no such devastation affect it - its problems are all induced by the behavior, choices and actions of one person (no natural disaster involved?).

Basically the archive lost a $600,000 scanner, and a relatively small part of their print collection that was being scanned. Fortunately the bulk of their print materials are kept in a different building. I don't know if the scanner was insured.

I'm not making light of it at all. IA has always been a fantastic resource for so much media. HC, not so much, but I really don't care about the politics, or it's improprieties. Never gave a dime to them. As with any tracker, it's about the members, and HC has a lot of very good people sharing their stuff freely, which is more than I can say about some other places. Too bad this bad blood had to happen. Oddly, nobody complained about the monthly donations for years and years, just when it went offline.

http://www.demonoid.me

Oh man, that is scary. I thought I'd read at torrentfreak that the demonoid.me addy had been bought up by someone, plus that "demon" looks a little different than the one they used to have, though that may be my hemp addled memory. This may be a serious scam.

Also, the HC "new" is the same as the last last chance message reported, but with today's date.

From following the "how to get bitcoins" link from the demonoid link above:
"Bitcoin services are not highly regulated so a service can continue operating even when it is widely believed that it is insecure or dishonest."

This sounds like it might be a good candidate for the next HC money grab. I wonder what the exchange rate is, i.e. how many karma points per bitcoin.

I've already exchanged my karma points for upload credits, ended up wth a ratio of about 2. If HC ever rises again, I'll be looking to exchange that "2" ratio for a ratio of "1", fair warning.

Do you guys consider that crocodile on HC main page to be a male crocodile or a female crocodile?
I don't get excited sexually, about the crocodile, so I would guess it's male crocodile

When I think of HC's hard luck stories I don't think of "croc" - I think of "crock" :-)

The new "new" same as the old "new", except for today's date being inserted.

As far as the drug, krokodil: "The drug was reported to have "flesh-eating" properties, causing open wounds around the injection site." If it had "cash-eating" properties, I could see where it would appeal to ShaReef, however I think he would be more likely to be a bath salt "plugger".

Cant wait for the weekend!!!

You need to reread the latest "new". They only first get access to the "new box" this weekend, best case scenario would have HC back up the early part of next week, and little there has happened in accordance to a "best case scenario".

I strongly suspect that every week the place is offline, a few more of the uploaders that were there will have found a new home. It will take months of continuous "uptime" before HC becomes more than a shadow of it's former self, imo.

As no mention of "fixing" fiscal issues and transparency have been mentioned, some uploaders will never return regardless of whether or not HC is able to stay online in a reliable manner.

That the forum may actually come back online after an even longer downtime is good news to me, as It will make it possible for me to delete my account there. I would just as soon not have my name associated with that place.

Nevermind my previous post. I do get sexually excited about the crocodile at this time. Male or female......who cares? But I guess my judgement has been ruined after reading Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita"......
Terrific book, Nabokov is a maestro when it comes to putting thoughts into words. One of the best writers of "our time" for sure.
The description of the child-molestors mind is so good that I even get sympathy for the guy and wish he succeeds in getting into her trousers.

How many of the people loudly complaining actually gave money in the first place? Why didn't this outrage start when the site was up and running? For years I knew the accounting was fuzzy at best. I couldn't believe that people would give month after month after month. That said, a sucker is born every minute. Time to move on.

I hope that if and when the tracker comes back, the fantastic quality and variety of torrents are like they were before this crisis. I'm pretty sure the Dylan-centric aspect of HC will be absent, as it has migrated to a new home, leaving "civilians" to continue with trading as usual. I miss the content offered there.

vladsmythe
2013-11-19, 10:37 AM
BTW I don't miss the tracker per se...I said "I miss the content offered there." Huge difference. I will say that many people have stepped up and offered very exciting stuff here at TTD recently. If HC does not come back I am fairly confident that we will see this trend continue here. :)

As for the Dylan-centric issue, my point, which I thought was spot-on, was that without a way to bump torrents at HC, a problem that arose was the proliferation of 10-20 Dylan torrents per day pushing some very interesting and enjoyable things into obscurity. I think the way torrents keep their shelf life here is much more equitable for those of us who so graciously share our content. Dylan is great, but not to the exclusion of every other artist featured in an all-purpose tracker. Many agree with that logic.

arfarf
2013-11-19, 11:35 AM
I was wrong, you've been whining about too much Dylan at HC for 4 years, as is well documented in this thread, where you are the top poster.

Don't Dylan audio torrents have the same "shelf life" as the torrents that you deem worthy?

What is equitable about someone's fresh Dylan up being knocked off the top of the list by someone obsessively bumping old content?

Why shouldn't the newest torrent be the most prominent, like it is on the torrent list of every tracker I know?

Here is the torrent list here: http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/torrents.php?tor=list

This is my first stop every time I come to TTD, I want to see what is new, like most, I am able to determine for myself what is worthy.

If this really disturbs you, then you should push for HC to interlock their tracker with their forum like they do at TTD and Planet Rock for example.

Unlike you, I believe the uploaders at a tracker have the right to determine what is uploaded to the tracker.

Unlike you, I believe tracker communities have the right to determine who is and isn't welcome there.

While I applaud electric ladyland's efforts to determine who is welcome and who is unwelcome at their site, the fact of the matter is those efforts will fail, like they have at every other tracker you've been banned from.

The fact that I am on the opposite sides of these issues from the internet's lest reputable uploader is proof positive to me that I am on the right side of these issue, ymmv.

Probably had to move servers again. Pesky host :disbelief

could be waiting for DNS to propagate. I hear that can take years.

"www.Hungercity.org was down 0 times out of 643 checks. Ratio 0% Downtime"
http://downforme.org/is-www.hungercity.org-down-today-for-everyone

A couple of days ago I found this on one of my old harddisks:
"HungerCity has grown to be a site with a sizable community and membership is increasing by the day! Also, we are now a site that comes with a sizable server expense on a monthly basis!

In order to meet these expenses every month, we will now depend solely on the generosity of its donating members! We are a non-profit organization completely supported by you, the HungerCity Citizens! This means that we need you to play a part in its continued success! We encourage every member to contribute to the community in any way that they can!"

How can HC be up for everybody else but not up for anyone at the same time :hmm:

If this week is next week then next week must be the week after next week -but as this week is already the week after next week what is the best definition of this week and how do you define next week? Discuss.

If you'll notice, the URL now forwards to some intermediate URL.

I hope he gets it back online soon.

already looking forward to HC's next big outage - but can't do that until it's up & running again....

that was back in October

I'm looking forward to HC coming back again .... so it can be down yet again...
:D;)

Staff changed the contributions tab here at TTD so it would be noticed better.

Here's the link and the latest message:

http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/donations.php?

Running costs this month: $149.99
User contributions this month: $62.11
($65.00 - $2.89 PayPal fees)
We have not reached our goal for the last three months.
So, if you could help, it would be very much appreciated.
Last month we had $60 in contributions.

Maybe a donation to TTD is in order so this thread can continue to bring joy here. My $50 dollars has been sent. Thanks to TTD community and staff for a great year!

Actually, I should have given more this time. $50 dollars per year is less than 14 cents per day to support this fantastic place. :thumbsup
